Mrs. Sanger To Speak This
Morning In Memorial Hall On
Birth Control Situation
Authority To Review
Status Of Recognition
Of Contraception
By LOUIS HARRIS
This morning at 11 o'clock all
social minded students are asked
to be at Memorial hall, where
Mrs. Margaret Sanger will talk
on birth control. On her way to
Winston-Salem, this noted child
birth expert will stop in Chapel
Hill to give a review of the
status of the recognition of con
traception as a common prac
tice. After she has concluded
her speech, she will answer any
questions which the audience
may have.
Long has been the fight of
Mrs. Sanger for the general ac
ceptance of contraception in
both medical and social circles.
Dating back to 1913, when she
was a nurse in a New York hos
pital, to the present time, Mrs.
Sanger has waged a determined
war for the recognition of birth
control, illness, arrest ana a
consequent flight to Europe, be
sides rude exclusion from social
circles all have failed to keep
this pioneer from completing
what she felt to be her duty
The Woman Rebel"
Brought to court for violating
the postal laws, when she pub
lished "The Woman . Rebel," a
publication urging birth con
trol, Mrs. Sanger, feeling that
she was about to face a biased
court, fled the country. After
touring Europe, learning much
about contraception from for
cign doctors, she gave herself
up and returned to America,
ready to stand trial. She discov
ered, however, that in her ab
sence a strong faction for the
recognition of birth control had
sprung up. Taking advantage of
her opportunity, Mrs. Sanger
organized the American Birth
Control League, which toured
the country, only to find al
doors shut to her proposals.
Undaunted, she waited for
public reaction to turn, and cul
minated her efforts to date,
when, in November, 1936, the
Comstock Act, a law preventing
obscene literature from going
through the mails, was nullified
by the New York Federal court,
in its application to birth con-

OPEN FOR FOUR
UPPERCLASSMEN
Two Vacancies
In Union Are
Open To Coeds
Four applications for member
ship into the Carolina Political
Union will be accepted within
the next two weeks, according to
the meeting of the union last
night in Graham Memorial.
These applications must be from
sophomores, juniors, and seniors,
and two of those chosen will be
coeds, if two are interested
enough in the work, and are ap
proved by the union.
It was decided also that fresh
men will have a larger number
than usual taken in this year
since the applicants from the
other classes are being limited
in number in favor of the fresh
men. However, it was pointed
out that freshmen are not to ap
ply for membership at this time,
as the union wants them to be
fully acclimated in school before
taking, them in.
Those who wish to apply for
membership into the union are
asked to get their application
blanks at the YMCA office Mon
day or Tuesday. Students who
have applied before are asked to
indicate if they wish to have
their applications extended.
The vacancies in the CPU,
which has a lmit of 25 members,
were made by graduation and by
failure of some members to re
turn to school this fall. Nancy
Nesbit resigned from the group
at the meeting, and upon accept
ing her resignation, the CPU
members elected her vice-chair
man Emerita.
Plans for a trip to Washing
ton to discuss a definite date
and time for President Roose
velt's speech were discussed, as
well as dates of prospective
speeches. .
